Fictional Style Icon: Issa Dee

By Tristan George March 8, 2018

This week’s fictional style icon comes to you straight from binging the first two seasons of HBO’s Insecure in one sitting.

Yes, I’m jumping on the bandwagon way late. And all I can say is that I’m kicking myself for not tuning in earlier because Issa Dee is my everything.

Issa Rae was already goals to begin with in every way, shape, and form. From her killer red carpet style to teeth perfect enough to distract me episodes at a time (seriously, how did they get like that? This girl’s smile puts the Orbit gum lady to shame). Her fictional counterpart, Issa Dee, also dressed by her real-life, stylist, is no different.

Fictional Style Icon: Queen Ramonda

Yes, I’m still talking about Black Panther this week (rightfully so), and I’m not sorry about it. While last week’s style icon, Shuri, represents the new-age tech-savvy Wakanda, her mother, Queen Ramonda (played by Queen Angela Basset), dons gorgeous, regal looks that are most exemplary of the nation’s traditional culture.

Among dystopian worlds and timelines that show the evils of modern technology, Black Mirror’s “San Junipero” stands alone.

While every other Black Mirror episode left me crippled with fear and anxiety as I shied away from my cell phone and obsessively covered my webcam, “San Junipero” left me in tears. Gorgeous, wonderful, happy-tears. I remember my roommate at the time passing through the living room and shooting me a weird look, to which I pointed at the TV and screamed, “IT’S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!“

Too scared for the rest of Black Mirror? Just watch “San Junipero” and skip the rest. It’s not only the series’ happiest episode, but it’s also it’s most stylish.

Fictional Style Icon: Veronica Sawyer

Who doesn’t love a good ‘80s teen fashion icon, let alone one played by the ultimate It Girl of her time? Throw in some old-fashioned teenage angst and a dash of murder, and you get one Winona Ryder as Veronica Sawyer of Heathers, the coolest dark comedy of them all.
